James 1 v 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.
God has called us to be a people set apart for him, too often we compromise and our lives are divided ‘Well I live for God some of the time’. God is calling us to be fully for him….. one thing he has been speaking to us about is the words we speak.
We have a choice to make, we can either allow our tongues to bring destructive words or constructive words. Think about what words have helped and encourage you as a person…..
James 3 v 5,6 In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.
We all have our weaknesses with our tongue, we have set ourselves a challenge to give our weakness over to God and allow him to change us. Pick a tongue weakness from the list below. Share your tongue challenge with a friend for accountability and help
Sarcasm
Gossip
Critiscism
Swearing
Complaining
Slagging off
Lets build each other up and encourage each other :-)
May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

The Friendship & the Fear…..
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . How is your relationship with God?
. . . . . . . . . . .How do you view God?
Do you speak to God regularly and share your life with him as a friend would do?
John 15 v 13,14 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.
Do you show respect, honour and live in awe of God and all he is?
Psalm 19
The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.
God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding.
It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.
The sun rises at one end of the heavens
and follows its course to the other end.
Nothing can hide from its heat.
The instructions of the LORD are perfect,
reviving the soul.
The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
The commandments of the LORD are right,
bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are clear,
giving insight for living.
Reverence for the LORD is pure,
lasting forever.
The laws of the LORD are true;
each one is fair.
They are more desirable than gold,
even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even honey dripping from the comb.
They are a warning to your servant,
a great reward for those who obey them.
How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?
Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
Keep your servant from deliberate sins!
Don’t let them control me.
Then I will be free of guilt
and innocent of great sin.
May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

Junkie meets Jesus in a Trash Can!
Don’t miss your opportunity to hear first hand Colin Garnett at Re-Mix
Tuesday 10th March 7:30pm
Junkie meets Jesus in a Trash Can
The amazing true story of a hardened drug addict's encounter with Jesus in a rubbish bin, in prison, and how that encounter changed his life.
Colin Garnett grew up in Stockport, South Manchester, in a tough working-class culture. A teenage involvement with alcohol, amphetamines and violence led to an adult heroin addiction. For many years he was lost in a crime-and-drugs lifestyle and did time in 27 different prisons. But on 17 June 1993, in a prison chapel, he received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. From that moment God began to transform Colin’s life. He became a highly effective evangelist with a special ministry to those in prison and those trapped in drug addiction.
